I was looking for something to pair with a binge on the new season of Better Call Saul. For scenes of Albuquerque and Santa Fe I needed something simple yet classic, but not tired. The New Mexico sun had me thinking white. Something from the "what's old is new" category seemed appropriate as well. And if Jimmy isn't Chardonnay...
Some new oak, but no malo. Lemon custard, caramelized apple, and orange blossom. Parker calls it "premier cru Chablis-like" and I wouldn't disagree. A balanced, and even bipolar, round and racy character. This fit the bill perfectly. — 8 years ago
Beautiful wine, smooth after taste. — 9 years ago
@Patty Grimm you would love this. — 9 years ago
Refreshing, bright but dark fruit. Smooth and young. Probably not a long aging wine. A little pepper and spice on the finish. Ross sends bottles to jimmy. Made by Bryan Page. — 9 years ago
Surprising, the Pinot Noir from this region is unique, spicy and well balanced. I like it I would buy more — 10 years ago

The previous vintage won best Pinot at the Melb wine show RNA. Should have won the Jimmy Watson won by another Pinot. Fresh bright fruit nose - cherries, some pepper/spices, rose perfume. Medium weight, silky. Delicious. 17.5+. — 11 years ago

The Jimmy Watson Trophy is awarded to the best one year old Dry Red at the Royal Melbourne Wine Show and is highly sought after, guaranteeing an immediate sell out. To complicate matters only 250 cases of this wine were made and this wine won the 2011 JW Trophy. I managed to buy 2 bottles and this is my first and it is superb. Made by SA Shiraz Royalty in Nick Glaetzer from Tasmanian cool climate Shiraz. Aromas of Pepper, Egyptian spices, Incense. On the medium bodied palate spicy red fruits and more white pepper finishing with soft supple fine tannins. An absolutely lovely Northern Rhone style. Would defy anyone to pick this blind as an Australian Shiraz. — 8 years ago
First time with this wine - me likely - big bold beautiful - decanted for one hour - this does have a jimmy Durante nose on it - a real intoxicating one - drink the rest in another hour - i have to remember to breath as @Jody Scharf reminds me and remember the band Durant Durant as they say "Relax relax" - nice night for wine and smiles - love to 😁😬😬 — 9 years ago

Great Malbec that we enjoyed at Jimmy Kelly's steakhouse in Nashville TN to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary early. We had steak, of course ... great pairing! I am sure we really over-paid since we were at a restaurant ... $35 range. — 11 years ago

A really attractive, beautifully balanced, smooth and seamless wine. Jimmy Watson trophy winner from a vintage where none of the Bests flagship wines where made leaving the Bin 1 as the beneficiary of all of the old vine fruit. — 10 years ago
Patio wine for a hot summer day. Refreshing — 10 years ago

Jimmy Watson winner. Not bad, always nice to see tannin in Grenache and avoids that sense of sweetness. Just didn’t quite feel composed. — 7 years ago
